Outdoors USA | Sleeping In The Outdoors

Have you done much camping? Outdoors USA and our family has done quite a bit of primative camping in seveal of the state parks throughout the US. We really enjoy sleeping in tents, cooking over open fires, and enjoying the peace and quite that primative camping brings.  My only complaint as I get older is leaving the comfort of my soft bed. Sleeping on the ground is getting harder and harder as the years go by.  Lately, when we go camping I’ve been using an extra matterss pad but I might break down and buy a full blown adjustable air mattress.  Waking up with stiff joints and back is getting to be more than I can handle.  Who knows I may even decide to give in and buy a small pop-up camper one of these days.

Outdoors USA | Spring Yard Cleanup

Spring time has started arriving and in the northern parts of the country the snow is disappearing.  Now is the time of year everyone starts to work on getting their yards back in shape.  A winter of high winds, snow and floods in some places have left lots of debris and trash in the corners of many home owners yards.  My yard is no exception.  I was looking out the back window watching the neighbor rummage through his outdoor storage shed for his rake, when I too decided it was time to clean up.  I hate this time of year its wet, muddy, damp and occasionally too chilly to do much outdoor work.  I just have to keep thinking to myself the soon the grass will turn green, the trees will blossom and spring temperatures will start to rise.  Well that’s about all I have for today have to go grab my rake and get started on spring cleanup

Outdoors USA | Open Season On Trout

Opening day for trout season is quickly approaching for many parts of the country.  In some cases it may already be in progress.  If you haven’t already prepared for the upcoming fly fishing season , now is the time to inspect your fly fishing gear and get it ready.  Clean your line, guides, and reels.  Verify you have ample stock of the necessary wet and dry flies for your area.  Test your waders.  Spring water temps can be very low, you don’t want to go out on your first fly fishing trip of the season and discover your waders leak.  Proper preparation is something that is a must if you plan on having an enjoyable time.  Here is a good site to visit for more information on your fly fishing gear.  If you make it out on opening day in your area Outdoors USA would love to see some photos.

Outdoors USA – See The Country In An RV

Have you ever seen those luxury RV’s on the travel channel or zooming down the hi-way? Man, I’ve often wondered what it would be like to travel in that type of style.  I read on a site today that some of these luxury motor homes are made in Decatur Indiana.  A local community blog describes American Coach motor homes and where they are built.  Outdoors USA will continue to follow the site and see what else Decatur, In has to offer.
